⚫ The first speaker of the evening is Ralph van Roosmalen. His talk is titled "Management 3.0 – Worker Happiness"

Management 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and maybe even 4.0? Is this just a hype, why do we need management when we have Scrum and other Agile frameworks?In this session, we will talk about different management styles, and also why Management 1.0 but even 3.0 can be wrong… We will also look at the six views, six views that are the responsibility of management. That does not automatically imply managers!In the second half, we will look at Happiness. The Happiness of Workers and why it is essential to make sure everyone is as happy as possible. This won’t happen automatically, and we are going to look at the 12 steps to Happiness.At the end of this talk, you should be able to know the differences between the different Management styles and have at 12 ideas how to increase happiness at work.

Ralph is specialized in Management 3.0, being agile and building (distributed) agile software teams. Furthermore, he is the first person who wrote a book about Management 3.0 besides Jurgen Appelo. The book is called "Doing It - Management 3.0 Experiences" where Ralph shares his manyexperiences with Management 3.0 practices.More information about Ralph can be found on his LinkedIn Profile:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphvanroosmalen.

⚫ Next, we have a lightning talk from Adrian Suciu, talking about Agile Coach Camp. Agile is all about experimenting and learning and building connections. Agile Coach Camp is a safe environment where you can test your crazy ideas, learn from others and find new friends from the community. If you are an experienced Agile enthusiast ready for exchanging ideas, learning and sharing, coaching and being coached, this event is for you.

Adrian is a Certified Scrum Master, Agile enthusiast since 2011, organiser of Agile Coach Camp since the first edition (2016). He likes to experiment with new ideas at community events then try them "in real life". He believes an Open Space event like Agile Coach Camp is the best way to experience the creativity and learning power of a group.

In 2018, the monthly Agile Talks meetups will feature short Lightning Talks. No longer than 10 minutes, it's a perfect opportunity to introduce yourself and to share your lessons learned. The Agile Works community in Bucharest will be more than happy to listen and learn!

Experience frequent product delivery with peers like you!

Whether you are interested to get your hands dirty with code, or to bring improvement ideas to a software product, join us for this new monthly meetup series. We will develop a new software product from scratch.

WHAT WE WILL BUILD:

Imagine you're in the mood for dining in the city this evening. You have an approximate idea of what you want to eat, and you have a budget limit. How do you decide where to go? How do you make a reservation? How do you know the restaurant is not already fully booked?

That's what our software product will offer: a place where you can easily make a restaurant reservation based on a few simple criteria.

HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK?

The facilitator (Alin Pandichi) will play the role of a Product Owner. He will provide user stories for you to pick up and implement. He will also prioritize the features based on the feedback we will get from the users of the product.

You will receive all the assistance you need in order to contribute to this product, including guidance from a Technical Leader.

You are encouraged to bring a laptop, although it is not a requirement.

There will be a Github repository where you can submit your pull requests.

You can choose to develop using any programming language / any technology stack. This will be possible due to the microservices architecture of the product.

HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE:

Even if you don't write code, there are lots of ways you can contribute.

As a tester, business analyst, product owner, user experience specialist, designer, marketing specialist, (etc., you name it), you can contribute too:

He strives to improve delivery and quality, on both software and non-software projects by either leading, adoption or working on improving team’s way of working. His preferred path to the goal of improving team’s life and output leans on Agile practices, mainly applying Scrum. In his quest, he’s supported by his software testing work experience, that includes companies from fields like embedded, security, financial services or web-development.

Lucian’s presentation will be“Experiences with Agile beyond software development homeland”, a session about challenges and options to expand using Scrum or Agile in general in non-software related teams and environments. We will continue the evening with two lightning talks:

Adrian about the talk:"You can learn why task switching is bad for you and how to plan your day better so that you can be more productive and less tired.I worked with many teams and most of them say that task switching (multi-tasking is another term, not that correct) is a good and useful way of working."

Alin about the talk:"Most people tackle problems in a classic fashion, from left to right. They start from what they have today, blindingly hacking their way toward their goals. There is another way, a counterintuitive one: walking backwards, going from right to left. In other words, starting from the output, from the goals toward the present day. This technique can be applied anywhere, from writing jokes, teaching bio-chemistry, to our most pressing matter: writing software."
